Are Supplements Worth the Hype? The Data Behind Cycling Performance Boosters

In episode #181 we unpack the latest research in cycling nutrition with Dr. Jamie Whitfield. Learn how these can impact athletic performance, recovery, and hydration strategies across various cycling disciplines.

Key Topics Explored:

  • The UCI Sports Nutrition Project and the evidence base for supplements
  • Sodium citrate and bicarbonate, glycerol and ketones
  • Strategies for hyperhydration

Jamie Whitfield earned his PhD in exercise physiology and muscle metabolism from the University of Guelph and is now a Senior Lecturer and researcher in the Centre for Human Metabolism & Performance at Australian Catholic University. His research utilizes a variety of research models to gain a better understanding of how nutrient availability alters skeletal muscle metabolism, and whether it can promote or inhibit training adaptation and, ultimately, human performance. He is currently an Associate Editor for the American College of Sports Medicine’s flagship journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise and is an Exercise and Sport Science Australia Accredited Sport Scientist.
